The Drupal Console is multilingual

By Jesus Manuel Olivas ● Head of Products | January 6th, 2015

We are getting close hope by the end of this week, to a code-freeze on the development of this project, this code-freeze will be for about 4 weeks, in order to have time to work on the project documentation and prepare with David Flores aka @dmouse to present this project at DrupalCon Latino.

The first goal to complete before this code-freeze was add multilingual capabilities to the project, but why?, I can list a few reasons.

Drupal is multilingual and Drupal 8 is even more than ever, you can take a look a the D8MI at http://www.drupal8multilingual.org/ and we want to ship this project with similar capabilities.

It feels good and more natural to use a tool on your mother tongue, and by the way most of our project contributors are not native english speakers.

Separate messages from code will ease the text messages updates, no need to know/learn PHP or use an IDE to contribute.

We (David Flores & myself) will be presenting a sesion in Spanish, related to this project at the DrupalCon Latino in Bogota, and at some point we decide making project multilingual will be interesting for the event audience.

As I mentioned on twitter:

Code look a little hacky but got a translatable version of #Drupal Console commands, feature will be available on the next release. #drupal8

Feel free to try this new multilingual feature on the latest release v0.6.0, and as usual feel free to ask any questions commenting on this page, or adding a new issue on the drupal project page or the github repository.
